Embodiment
By the explanation in this instructions and the accompanying drawing, clarify following item to the major general.
The basic structure of=CD=
Fig. 7 has shown according to one embodiment of present invention, the relation between CD 70 and the shaven head.Described CD 70 is made up of first substrate 71 and second substrate 72.First recording layer (being equivalent to the DVD layer) 81 by the translucent thin film production forms on the plane of incidence 73 one sides near laser beam, and second recording layer of being made by high reflectivity film (being equivalent to HD DVD layer) 83 forms on the another side away from the described plane of incidence 73.
Fig. 8 has shown by using red laser beam 30 to reproduce 81 o'clock situation of described first recording layer (DVD layer).Fig. 9 has shown by using bluish violet color laser bundle 65 to reproduce 83 o'clock situation of described second recording layer (HD DVD layer).At first, in order to use the described HD DVD of described bluish violet color laser Shu Zaixian layer 83, with reference to figure 6, described HD DVD layer 83 must be positioned within the distance scope of the described plane of incidence 578 μ m to 622 μ m (comprising two ends) (spherical aberration limit).In addition, under the thin individual layer situation shown in Fig. 2 B, described DVD layer 81 must be positioned at (minimum value 550 μ m are spherical aberration limits) within the distance scope of the described plane of incidence 550 μ m to 580 μ m (comprising two ends).That has considered when simultaneously, determining the thickness in middle layer 85 to cause between described DVD layer 81 and the described HD DVD layer 83 crosstalks.Under the situation of HDDVD, its thickness is not less than 15 μ m, is 40 μ m under the situation of DVD.Yet in either case, its thickness all depends on optical system.
Formed described DVD layer 81 in described first substrate 71, and the described bluish violet color laser bundle that reproduces described HDDVD layer 83 is seen through.So, consider the injection molding precision of this substrate, the thickness setting of photic zone 87 is the scope of 550 μ m to 575 μ m (comprising two ends).Specifically, described DVD layer 81 is positioned at the described plane of incidence 73 of distance within the scope of 550 μ m to 575 μ m.The injection molding ratio of precision of ± 12.5 μ m under thin individual layer situation ± 15 μ m are stricter, but than under described HD DVD (maximal value in described middle layer is under the situation of 25 μ m) situation ± 9.5 μ m are loose.
Consider that described HD DVD layer 83 must be positioned within the distance scope of the described plane of incidence 578 μ m to 622 μ m (comprising two ends), the thickness in described middle layer 85 is from minimum value: 578 μ m-550 μ m=28 μ m are within the scope of maximal value 622 μ m-575 μ m=47 μ m.The maximal value in described middle layer 85 is along with the injection molding precision of described DVD signal substrate 71 improves and increases.Otherwise if described injection molding precision reduces, its described maximal value reduces.
=reflectivity or the like=
Secondly, in the conventional DVD equipment of having introduced to the market on a large scale, in order to be the thin single-layer optical disc of single face to above-mentioned optical disc recognition, as shown in Figure 8, must be from the flashlight Irs of described DVD layer 81 more than or equal to 45% of described red laser beam 30.Simultaneously, under situation about bluish violet color laser bundle 60 being shone on the same CD, as shown in Figure 9, must restraint light focusing and obey tracking servo by this from the flashlight Ibs of described HDDVD layer 83, and must can reproducing signal.
Described HD dvd standard is as follows about the reflectivity regulation of described bluish violet color laser bundle.
Under the situation of HD DVD-ROM,
The single-surface single-layer CD:
40% to 70% (comprising birefringence)
Single-side double-layer light disk:
18% to 32% (comprising birefringence)
Under the situation that can rewrite HD DVD (Lead-In Area) in system,
The single-surface single-layer CD:
4% to 8% (comprising birefringence)
Under described CD situation of the present invention, described HD DVD is placed on and the identical position of described single-surface double-layer HD DVD-ROM CD.Therefore under the preferable case, described reflectivity is within the scope of this regulation.Yet, as for the described HD DVD layer of this CD, because described HD DVD not commercialization as yet just can comprise new regulation in described HD dvd standard.In this case, the lower limit of described reflectivity need be greater than the lower limit of described CD-RW.
Under described single-surface double-layer DVD CD situation shown in Figure 4, playback light is described red laser beam 30.Therefore, use the semitransparent thin film as described first recording layer 21 such as Au, Si usually, and use cheap Al alloy to make described second recording layer 23, it is described high reflectivity film.
Yet, under described HD DVD situation shown in Figure 6,, be difficult within appropriate scope, form semitransparent layer for described bluish violet color laser bundle if use Au or Si.Therefore, use the Ag alloy to make the described semitransparent layer of described first recording layer 51 recently, use Ag alloy, Al alloy etc. to make the described high reflectivity film of described second recording layer 53.
Following with situation about introducing under, the DVD layer of described CD 70 (described semitransparent thin film) 51 is formed by the Ag alloy, its described HD DVD layer (described high reflectivity film) 53 is formed by the Al alloy.
Fig. 8 has shown makes described red laser beam 30 incide the situation of described CD 70.According to the refractive index of 71 pairs of described red laser beams 30 of described first substrate, the reflectivity of the described plane of incidence (Rrs) is set to 4.8% (no anti-reflection film).Described photic zone 87 also is used as the photic zone of described HD DVD layer.Therefore, if birefringence is the round trip of 60nm, by the amplitude height to 8.2% of described birefringence minimizing.So in order to make described flashlight Irs from described DVD layer 81 more than or equal to 45% of described incident light Ir, the reflectivity Rr1 of described DVD layer is 54% (=45%/(0.952 2* 0.918)).
Secondly, the transmission coefficient of 51 pairs of described red laser beam 30 of described translucent DVD layer is 46% (when Rr1 is 54%), and the reflectivity of the described HD DVD layer 53 of the described high reflectivity film that is formed by the Al alloy is 85%.Therefore, the noise light Irn from described HD DVD layer 53 is 15% (=0.952 of described incident light Ir 2* 0.918 * 0.46 2* 0.85 * 100%).This value is approximately half of described single-surface double-layer DVD CD value shown in Figure 4.
Next step, Fig. 9 has shown makes described bluish violet color laser bundle 65 incide the situation of described CD 70.The reflectivity (Rbs) of described bluish violet color laser bundle 65 on the described plane of incidence is 5.6%, the amplitude height to 20% (round trip of 60nm) that described photic zone 87 is reduced by birefringence, and the reflectivity Rb1 of described translucent DVD layer is 48.2%.Therefore, the transmission coefficient of described DVD layer is 38.6%.If the reflectivity Rb2 of the described HD DVD layer that is formed by described high reflectivity film is 88%, flashlight Ibs is exactly 9.2% (=0.944 of described incident light Ib 2* 0.8 * 0.386 2* 0.87 * 100%).In addition, the noise light Ibn from described DVD layer is 34.4% (=0.944 of described incident light Ib 2* 0.8 * 0.482 * 100%).
If described birefringence is pressed into 40nm, identical with described CD-RW birefringence, the amplitude that is reduced by described birefringence is exactly 9.3%, and the aforementioned calculation value can multiply by 1.13.So described flashlight Ibs is set to 10.4%, described noise light Ibn is set to 38.9%.
=layer-to-layer signal transfer and middle layer=
Next step will consider the thickness in layer-to-layer signal transfer and middle layer.In Fig. 8, when using described red laser to reproduce described DVD layer 81, see through reflection on the light described HDDVD layer 83 thereon of this layer, and see through described DVD layer 81 once more.Reproduction optical system has described DVD layer 81 is imaged on effect on the photodetector surfaces.Therefore, on described HD DVD layer 83 the noise light Irn of reflection to the contribution of described photodetector be described intermediate layer thickness square.
In described single-surface double-layer DVD CD shown in Figure 4, the minimum thickness value in described middle layer is set to 40 μ m.Use this value, the level that described layer-to-layer signal transfer is set can not cause problem.In addition, to the reflectivity that described first recording layer 21 is determined, make the light approximately equal from described two-layer reflection of setting.
As shown in Figure 8, if use described red laser beam 30 to reproduce described DVD layer 81, described noise light Irn from described HD DVD layer 83 is 15% of a described incident light so, 45% 1/3 (15/45) (birefringence: 60nm) of the described flashlight Irs that promptly described DVD layer 81 sends.This value shows that although the thickness in described middle layer is reduced to 23 μ m (=40 μ m/ √ 3) from its minimum value 40 μ m, described layer-to-layer signal transfer is constant.
Next step, as shown in Figure 9, if use described bluish violet color laser bundle 65 to reproduce described HD DVD layer 83, so described flashlight Ibs is 9.2% of a described incident light.Simultaneously, described noise light Ibn is 34.4% of a described incident light, promptly is 3.74 times of described flashlight Ibs.According to the regulation of the standard of described HD DVD, the minimum thickness value in described middle layer is 15 μ m.Therefore, for described noise light is reduced to equivalent level, the minimum value in described middle layer can be set to 29 μ m (=15 μ m * √ 3.74).Specifically, if the thickness in described middle layer within the scope of 29 μ m to 47 μ m, described layer-to-layer signal transfer just can not cause problem.
Under actual conditions, the bonding precision among the described HD DVD also can be improved to about ± 3 μ m.Because the minimum value in described middle layer is improved to about 19 μ m, the thickness with described middle layer under the preferable case is arranged on about 40 ± 5 μ m.
=flag information=
Next step will introduce the flag that described CD is set according to the embodiment of the invention.Described DVD layer 81 needs to treat as normal single-surface single-layer DVD.So (BP2) of physical format information is set to described single-surface single-layer CD in ID in the Frame and the control data zone.
Simultaneously, for described HD DVD layer 83, (BP2) of physical format information is set to described single-surface single-layer CD in ID in the Frame and the control data zone.
Under the preferable case, the described CD that indicates according to the embodiment of the invention has two-layer---comprising described DVD layer and described HD DVD layer---flag has been used in the control data zone the some reservations position in (BP2) disc structure in the physical format information.In layer type, there are two reservation positions (b7 and a b3) not use.These positions not only keep in ROM, are also keeping in rewritable, R type etc.Therefore, these positions are regarded as not influence.
(BP2) compact disk structure
B3 0b keeps
The 1b ground floor is the DVD layer, and the second layer is a HD DVD layer
=realize by the compact disk equipment of dvd standard reproduction=
Next step will introduce the situation of using conventional DVD equipment to reproduce the CD of the embodiment of the invention with reference to Figure 10, Figure 11 A and Figure 11 B.Figure 10 has shown the primary structure of the conventional DVD equipment of knowing.Figure 11 A and Figure 11 B have shown its operational scheme and focus servo.
